In fact being "offline" is itself something that will slowly become less and less likely to happen in future. Portable devices will become more and more capable of dealing with the full digital social experience 24/7 and personal computing will mean connecting your laptop to your communication device in order for your laptop to be able to give you a better access to the data you already have. Expect full hard disk encryption on your smart phone. Expect your free software empowered smart phone to be the only place where you keep your private keys. One day. What I really wanted to say is, we don't need to optimize for people being offline. We don't need server based thinking of the past. -- ___ psyc://psyced.org/~lynX ___ irc://psyced.org/welcome ___ ___ xmpp:[email protected] ____ https://psyced.org/PSYC/ _____
